13th – 20th July 2024

July 20, 2024 by Alison in

A lovely stay again in this wonderful cottage (Glenfuin Cottage), all thanks to Alison and Craig.
Went to Glasgow to the Transport Museum and Burrell Collection. Both well worth a visit.
A trip to Edinburgh Botanic Gardens also well worth the visit.
A must have trip to the Oban Fish & Chip Shop, 116 George Street for the best place to eat in fish and chips.
Inverary is also worth visiting. A trip round the peninsular from Helsnburgh is good if the weather is being kind or a wander round the glen.

Looking forward to next year.
